Mr. Graham Doyle:

Our social housing guidelines encourage the use of the generic designs we have. We have not mandated it but the use of generic design is encouraged. What we are now trying to encourage much more of, particularly around the delivery of social housing, is the modern methods of construction such as offsite construction which speeds up delivery and will ultimately in the future bring down the cost. They are two things we are looking at at present.
